Morphology and morphometry of the anterior cerebral-anterior communicating artery complex.

Purpose: The variations of Cerebral arterial circle (Circle of Willis) are not rare. The study is done to assess the pattern of the component vessels of its anterior part with regard to Right- Left variations and compare with other studies.

Material And Method: 56 formalin fixed cadavers were analyzed.

Challenging arterial pattern of foregut and its potential impact on surgery.

Anticipating a wide range of morphological variations of arterial anatomy of foregut derivatives beyond the classical pattern, a precise understanding is pertinent to preoperative diagnosis, operative procedure and to avoid potentially devastating post-operative outcome during various traumatic and non-traumatic vascular insult of foregut. The study aimed to revisit the morphological details and update unusual configurations of arteries of foregut to establish clinico-anatomical correlations. This study described the detailed branching pattern of coeliac trunk (CT) as principal artery of foregut with source & course of hepatic, gastric, duodenal and pancreatic branches in 58 cadaveric dissections.

Liver morphology: anatomical study about the outer aspects.

Purpose: Hepatobilliary surgery is nowadays increasingly done throughout the world with advent of newer liver imaging modalities. Considering recent interest for accurate interpretation of different radiological images and performing surgical procedures, a precise understanding of hepatic surface anatomy is challenging due to high prevalence of previously identified morphological variations. Accordingly, a cadaveric study was attempted to revisit the morphological details of liver updating the unusual configurations along with their clinico-anatomical correlations and thus, compare the analysis of present study with previous published data.

Papillary muscles of left ventricle-Morphological variations and it's clinical relevance.

Introduction: The two left ventricular papillary muscles are small structures at sternocostal and inferior wall but are vital to mitral valve competence. Extra papillary muscles could be found. Partial or complete rupture, complicating acute myocardial infarction, causes severe or even catastrophic mitral regurgitation, potentially correctable by surgery.

Comprehensive study of pulmonary hilam with its clinical correlation.

Introduction: Awareness of pulmonary hilar variations is essential for lobectomy of lung.

Materials And Methods: We studied 54 left and 49 right hilum of formalin fixed adult cadaveric lungs. Morphologic and mophometric details were recorded and variations were noted.

Papillary muscles of right ventricle-morphological variations and its clinical relevance.

Introduction: Papillary muscle plays an important role in stabilizing the position of the tricuspid valve. Several pathologies can result in anatomical and functional abnormalities of the papillary muscles. The aim of the study is to deliberate the morphometry of papillary muscles in tricuspid valve and to analyze with the eminent research works previously done.

Body Donation after Death: The Mental Setup of Educated People.

Introduction: Without dissection of cadavers teaching and learning of anatomy is nearly difficult; there remains a gap between the practical knowledge and the gathered theoretical knowledge. But there is a scarcity in the availability of the donated bodies for the sake of medical education. On the other hand a large number of people in our country are in waiting list for organ transplantation which could be overcome by deceased organ donation.

A cadaveric study of bilateral configuration of posterior bifurcation of posterior communicating artery in Indian population.

Introduction: Various studies have been done regarding variations of circle of Willis, but few literatures are available about the detail configurations on Indian population. Posterior communicating artery is the main collateral channel between the vertebrobasilar and carotid system. It may act as a main source of blood flow via posterior cerebral artery if fetal configuration is present.

A glimpse towards the vestigiality and fate of human vermiform appendix-a histomorphometric study.

Introduction: The vermiform appendix in human is considered to be a vestigial organ by most of the authors. Absence of appendix is already reported in Indian population. Whether the human appendix is performing any function is debatable but when present it can create trouble.

Bilateral absence of musculocutaneous nerve: a case report.

Detailed knowledge of course and distribution of nerves in the axilla and arm is very important in the management of nerve injuries particularly in case of their variations. Bilateral absence of the musculocutaneous nerve was found during routine dissection in a male cadaver. The dissected part was cleared to see the distribution of the muscles of the arm.

Morphological study of the attachment of sternocleidomastoid muscle.

Introduction: The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle is a major muscle of the neck. Classically, this muscle is attached below the sternum and clavicle, although the mode of attachment might vary. As the SCM is related to numerous important neurovascular structures, its variable anatomy is clinically relevant, particularly for neck surgeries.
